OWA on Exchange 2007 without FE/BE

[GeorgeTuk]

Hey everybody,

Is it possible to run Exchange 2007 without the FE/BE setup for Outlook Web Access? I know this is not recommended but we are only a small company so ideally wouldn't like to buy another server if we can help it.

Plus has anyone come across a nice guide for changing from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 in a single server environment? I would need help with things like SMTP connectors.

Any help much appreciated.

A single server environment is fine. No problems with OWA there. Look at my old site,

for articles on how to transition from 2003 to 2007.

58sniper/Pat,

Thanks for that will browse through there certainly.

I have another question though, mine is on a hosted server in a managed environment, therefore it is backed up but what do I do with the logs, and do you think I should back up the store to somewhere else?

What's hosted - the 2003 or the 2007 stuff?

The 2007 Server is a managed server but not managed/hosted Exchange.
